There is a fashion even in SO small a
thing as the lighting Of a cigarette. In
Cuba it is customary among gentlemen
for one Ia place the cigarette between his
lips, light it, take few puffs and then
hand it to his friend. In Spain the same
fashion prevails. An Austrian is very
punctilious about the etiquette OF cigar
lighting. He lights his cigarette first and
then hands the lighted match To his COM
panion. The idea is that it is more cOur-

industrial Training in Germany.

An interesting letter giving an account
Of the industrial training system in tho
schools Of Ilesse Darmstadt, Germany,
was recently published in Science. 1t
seems that in the girls schools some kind
of needlcwork has always been taught.
From the very earliest times of school
history girls have been known To take
their knitting and sewing to school, and,
in the early part of this century, not
only the girls. but the boys also, used
to knit their own stockings AT school. "
This work. however, was performed sim
ply for the sake OF the stockings which 1t
produced. At the present time the prac-
teal end has not been lost sight OF, but
the educational end has become the more
important The parent furnishes the
child with the needed material, which, OF
course, its work may render worthless
get, for all this, no one complains that
the training does not pay. The first les
SONS in sewing are the use Of the thimble
and scissors. threading the needle and the
WAYS of holding the cloth while sewing
and cutting. THE stitch lesson is first
performed on paper; after while cheap
kind of muslin is substituted" Patch
ing and mending are thoroughly taught.
In the high schools the garments made ny
the girls often evince great deal Of taste
and a good knowledge Of dressmaking.
In the boys schools of Germany indus
trial training is not usually required

few years ago by private citizens, who
gave such instruction outside of school
hours. The results Of the experiment were
| - satisfactory that the institution estab
,ished was made part Of the public scho"
system. The other schools close the daily
session about 2:30. The manual train
ing is therefore given during tn.
latter part of the afternoon. IL
the summer time the boys are put tt

year they are engaged in the light ant

A Story OF Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was on one occasion
irving a case in Sangamon county, Ills,
against very able lawyer, who made
such convincing speech TO the jury that
Mr.. Lincoln saw that it had produced an
impression. The gentleman was not only
precise in his oratory but i'll his dress, and
Mr.. Lincoln saw flaw in his usual fault
less attire. Gentlemen Of the jury" said
'.Old Abe" when he arose TO speak, 1.-The
gentleman who has just spoken has made
q strong argument. He has quoted the
law and evidence, and it is not for me to
say that he is wrong. He may be correct
in ali he has said. But want you TO take
a good look at him. Lock especially at
the upper half, and then, gentlemen, tell
me if any man who comes before you
with his standing collar buttoned wrong
end to- with the points sticking away out
behind his ears, may not be altogether
mistaken in all his arguments. The plan
was successful Mr.. Lincoln had broken
the spell which the eloquence OF his oppo-
nent had thr ,wn over the jury.-Ben:

Because newspaper man duns you
is no reason you should get angry. A
dun is not an impeachment on the
subscribers integrity, but simply an
indication of the publishers neeessi-
ties. For instance, a thousand men
owe man from one to four dollars
each. He does not dun them all to
get money enough to pay expenses.
Instead of getting mad because the
publisher asks you for his honest dues,
the subscriber should thank the editor
for waiting on him so patiently, and
paw him like man.-Ex.
